No issues here.
No issues here on CKG2+ and USG, but I do get some IPS events with FaceTime calls.
I seem to be having some drops in wifi calling from my note 8, where every couple of minutes the call seems to drop and I can't hear the other person for 2-3 seconds. I'm on a 20Mb/2Mb connection and have smart queue set on wan. Anyone else encountered this? I'm running a UDM with a FlexHD connected wirelessly, this seems to happed regardless of the point I'm connected to
Anyone used the following to provide coverage outside?
UniFi Mesh Access point - UAP-AC-M-EU
Been doing some location testing and if I mount the Pro unit I have central in the house, the Ring camera on the end of the garage struggles for a signal. So I was contemplating one of UniFi Mesh Access point - UAP-AC-M-EU, wire it into the switch stack that'll be going into the loft to provide the coverage. Mount it on the side of the house. The alternative is I'll mount the Lite AP on a beam pointing at the garage, that too would be wired back to a switch.
Prob looking to sell the 3 APs I have when the work is done, NanoHD, Pro and Lite to replace with a Wi-Fi 6 AP or NanoHD.

Anyone deployed an ES-16-XG (or US-16-XG) in anger?
Looking at a cheap way to get our servers onto 10Gb
Currently have 4x HPE/Aruba 2930F linked together with 10Gb DAC's, and most of the remaining SFP+ used for 10Gb Fibre links to other areas of the site.
Was thinking of using the ES-16-XG as the "core", and then connecting the 2930F's and Servers to it - is this a daft idea?

How many SFP+ ports you need? I've just got UniFi Switch Aggregation, SKU: USW-Aggregation-EU 8 port SFPs and using that as my home core
4 Uplinks back to the Aruba Switches, and then at least 4 for Servers - googling that SKU revealed they've also got a 28 Port "PRO" version although it's in early access which looks quite nice

EDIT: and this one:

That's good to know - thanks
Unless you're smitten by silver, I would get the EdgeMax switch (ES-16-XG). It's the same hardware with it's own web GUI built in. Although if you run other Unifi items then you can certainly just adopt the US-16-XG to your existing controller.
The HUGE benefit of the Pro range of switches is they are proper Level 3 switches so if you need Level 3 features then wait for a launch version of the Pro version of whatever it is you need. One of the downsides of the Ubiquiti Early Access Programme is that it's like Fight Club. You quite often come out bruised and bloody but you can't tell anyone why. I definitely wouldn't put anything EA into a production environment.

My understanding is they have abandoned that product line and it's not ever going to see the light of day as a General Access device. They're selling off the Beta units but they won't get ongoing support. That said, it's the bargain of the century if you need that sort of routing horsepower. We got one in and frankly had nothing to link it up to
It looks great though.I think the EdgeMax would be the one we go with - big enough to link up all the other switches that have 10Gb uplinks and then add some of our main servers to improve both server to server backups and some more capacity for bandwidth spikes.
We don't need Layer 3 at present (tbh the 2930F's were overkill as were bought thinking we would use the L3 parts but weren't needed other than for 4x10Gb uplinks), so probably not worth waiting unless there is an Edgemax 28 port or similar on the horizon.

A Shame, as definitely worth the relative small cost increase, for a huge increase in performance. Even as a 48x 10Gb switch it was priced fantastically, but 25Gb and 100Gb on top of that was too good to be true
I need a bigger switch than my little Switch US-8-60w but my POE requirements haven't changed, it's still a Cloud Key and two access points.
Is it a bad idea to buy a bigger non-POE switch (significantly cheaper, like a US-24) and plug my existing switch in to it for the POE output?

Have you got any other Sonos kit? Are they all connected wirelessly? I guess the kit you mentioned is group in a surround setup?
I've got various bits of Sonos kit around my place, all connected wirelessly. In the lounge I have a Beam, Sub & 2 x Play 1's connected in a surround setup, the only client in the lounge that shows in the wireless client list is the Beam but checking the system details in the Sonos app the other devices in the lounge are shown as having valid IP addresses but I can't ping them. I can ping all the other devices and they all show up in the wireless clients list.

Sonos kit is a bit weird at times
No it's perfectly fine, and an ideal way of saving money rather than just buying a huge PoE switch and not using all the ports for PoE
Reading the above, what's the consensus of the performance of the ES-16-XG. Was considering it a while back as a budget 10Gb "backbone" for a project but read some mixed things about performance/reliability in anything other than SMB.
